Re: THUNDER II at UIUC December 4th
That check should definitely be mailed by this point. Also we will bring 1 buzzer, but it'll only have 6 working lights (Zeecraft). It's not adequate, but it's better than slap bowl.Dan-Don wrote:Assuming we get our payment for EFT to you (it's coming, Anant says), you can put us down for a team and no buzzers.
